Overview
Stay in an original stone bergerie with tranquil views of the countryside and sea, a short drive from Plage de Saint Cyprien and other idyllic beaches of the northern Porto Vecchio coastline.
The Corsican maquis is a scent you are unlikely to forget during your stay on this beautiful island. At Bergerie A Macchia you are surrounded by wild aromatic herbs and nature, allowing you to experience the authentic side of L'île de Beauté. This characterful 2-bedroom home is like a step back in time with its charming interiors and furnishings yet there are plenty of modern conveniences from high-end kitchen appliances to air-conditioning throughout.
With countryside landscapes around you, catch a glimpse of the sea from your decked terrace where long lunches can be enjoyed beneath the shade and there is ample room for lounging in the sun by the inviting swimming pool.
If you can bear to leave your peaceful surroundings, then venture towards the coast with some of the island’s most adored beaches within easy reach. Plage de Saint Cyprien is around 7km by car, a picturesque bay backed by summer restaurants, popular with families and watersport enthusiasts. Cala Rossa is another stunning spot or head further north to the white sands of Pinarellu.
The glamour of Porto-Vecchio is just over 7km away with its bustling marina and characterful old town. Drive further south to appreciate the beauty of Bonifacio, one of southern Corsica’s most enchanting places with its old citadel perched above dramatic white stone cliffs.
The rugged interiors also await with some magnificent hiking trails in the Forêt de l'Ospédale. Alternatively, drive to a traditional auberge in the mountains to sample authentic Corsican fare, many with terraces offering the most spectacular vistas of this incredible island.

Location
About the surrounding area of Bergerie A MacchiaBergerie A Macchia is surrounded by wild countryside with just a small handful of villas dotted across the landscapes, around 7km north of Porto Vecchio.
Despite the house’s rural setting, it’s only a 700m drive along country lanes to the road that connects Bonifacio, Porto Vecchio and the north of the island. In the other direction, you can reach the coast in around 3km with campsites, villas and the odd hotel scattered across a bay. Continue along the coastal road to Plage de Saint Cyprien (7km), one of Corsica’s most loved beaches. It is a long sandy bay backed by summer restaurants on one end and wilder landscapes on the other. There is a choice of seasonal watersports and the sea is usually calm, clear and gently-shelving.
Slightly further north is Plage de Pinarellu (12km), another idyllic spot thanks to its white sandy shores backed by pine trees. South of Porto Vecchio, the famous beaches of Santa Giulia (15km) and Palombaggia (18km) are best visited in quieter months, whilst there are many gorgeous bays and stretches of coastline around Bonifacio and Figari.
Of course, this part of southern Corsica is wonderful for keen walkers whether following coastal trails nearby or heading into the mountains for hikes across La Forêt de l'Ospédale and the Col de Bavella, a superb way to discover the incredible scenery of Corsica’s rugged interiors. Outdoor adventurists can experience a great range of activities such as mountain biking, cycling, canyoning and more.
You are bound to spend time in Porto Vecchio (7km) with its historic quarter and marina whether pottering around the town’s narrow lanes and little shops, dining in one of Porto Vecchio’s excellent restaurants or spending an evening in a glitzy bar.
Bonifacio (27km) is also worthy of a fantastic day out, such an enchanting place with its characterful citadel perched high above the limestone cliffs enjoying the most sensational sea views. Pop into artisan food shops for picnic supplies, then hop on a boat to the very remote and beautiful Lavezzi Islands.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesSouthern Corsica is a great choice for families with children of every age whether you wish to spend time on the island’s gorgeous beaches, explore local villages and towns or admire the incredible natural beauty of the interiors.
Plage de Saint-Cyprien is a much-loved beach for families with its gently shelving sandy shores, clear water and range of seasonal watersports. There are several restaurants both beachside and in the little village as well as a small handful of shops. As with many of Corsica’s popular beaches, head there early in the height of the summer.
Horse-riding is another glorious way to experience Corsica’s natural beauty, both by the sea and further inland. Older kids seeking adventure should head to the Col de Bavella where there are opportunities for rock-climbing, canyoning, hiking and more.
Parc Aventure de Porto-Vecchio, around 10km away, is a great day out for all the family with tree-top courses (height/age restrictions apply for some) as well as go-karting, inflatables and other fun activities.
